Padre 0.06 on ActivePerl 5.10.0 Build 1003 (on WinXP)

meorero has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all.
Gabor Szabo announced that Padre 0.06 was released.
(Padre, the Perl IDE. See: here).

On Ms Windows - he has tried it on Strawberry Perl 5.10 (see the "Download" page here ),
but not with ActiveState Perl (ActivePerl).

I want to do it with ActivePerl 5.10.0 Build 1003 already installed on WinXP.

Is it possible?

My Question:

How do I easily get "dmake", and have it to work for the ActivePerl I already have?

Thanks...

I am getting "ppm install failed: The PPD does not provide code to install for this platform" when trying to install WxPerl (prior to installing Padre). I have WxPerl unzipped to a folder from which I run "ppm install Wx-0.26.ppd". I have ActiveState 5.10 running WinXP. One website said something (it wasn't entirely clear) about it being the version of Perl that caused the problem. But 'Anonymous Monk' said it will work on 5.10, so what else could be wrong? This site says to include the file as a URL in the install command argument which I tried and didn't work. This site and this site say go back to ActiveState 5.8, which doesn't make sense and isn't worth it for me. Suggestions? I have no idea if I'll use Padre, but I'd like to take a look at it to at least see what Perl can do for GUI's.	[reply]

The PPD does not provide code to install for this platform The PPM package you have tried to install was built for a different platform. I couldn't find a Wx PPM package for perl-5.10 anywhere, which would mean that you'll have to build it yourself from source. (That there's no such PPM package available probably indicates that building Wx from source for perl-5.10 is not a trivial task.) Cheers, Rob	[reply]
